Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the additional sets of profile data represent additional objects scanned by the first and second geometric sensors prior to the first object, and the one or more first correction values is an average of at least some of the additional offset values.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more second correction values is an average of a second plurality of offset values, and the second plurality of offset values is the first offset value and a predetermined number of the most recent of the additional offset values.
6. The method of claim 3, wherein the single first geometric sensor is positioned to scan the objects in a first scan zone, and the one or more second geometric sensors is positioned to scan the objects in a second scan zone that is spaced apart from the first scan zone along the flow path.
7. The method of claim 3, wherein the single first geometric sensor and the one or more second geometric sensors are positioned to scan the objects in a first scan zone.
10. The method of claim 9, further including determining the one or more second correction values, wherein determining the one or more second correction values includes determining, for each of the first geometric sensors, an average of a plurality of offset values, and said plurality of offset values includes a corresponding one of the first offset values and at least some of the corresponding additional offset values, and wherein the determined averages are the second correction values for the respective first geometric sensors.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein said at least some of the corresponding additional offset values is a desired number of the most recent of the additional offset values stored for a corresponding one of the first geometric sensors.
12. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more second geometric sensors is positioned to scan the objects in a second scan zone that is spaced apart from the first scan zone along a flow path.
13. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more second geometric sensors is positioned to scan the objects in the first scan zone.
15. The method of claim 1, wherein the objects are pieces of wood, the method further including causing one or more machine centers to cut and/or reposition the second object based at least in part on the adjusted set of profile data.
19. A computer-readable storage medium programmed with instructions operable, upon execution by a processor of a computer, to cause the computer to perform the method of claim 1.
